[apologies in advance if this email is mis-tailored. I don't know
which APIs you are familiar with]

In general, it is considered bad form to add an event with GET, so at
minimum you've got to POST something to the server [agree? It's
usually a security hole if a web site makes changes via GETs, since
evil web sites can make your users do "drive by modifications"]
- And that SOMETHING has got to have a body. [agree?]
- What format would you like the body to be?
- Google picked XML, which is pretty common these days.
- In particular, they picked the ATOM flavor of XML [also pretty
common]

Which environment are you using?
What are you trying to do?
